These included the use of standard colours, consistent direction of ranking (from best to worst) and clear explanations of concepts such as confidence intervals.
If no steps are taken to create, standardize, and adopt a set of consistent standard Semantic Web chemical information exchange ontologies and representation formalisms soon, we are risking missing yet another opportunity to truly federate the chemical web and trigger a transition to a new era of chemical research.
If it looks the other way and other European securities regulators do nothing, the essential weakness of international standards — a lack of consistent enforcement — will be clear to all.
Birney was in charge of data analysis, and, along with his right-hand man, EBI's Ian Dunham, he coordinated the setting of quality standards, the development of consistent protocols, and the planning of the publications as well as developing new ways to look at data.

We found that monitoring of implementation was valuable and that the study approach needed flexibility to deal with evolving implementation issues, such as the lack of consistent standard care reminder calls and the navigator struggling with the simultaneous implementation of the control and intervention process.
Future research in this area should also consider: i) use of standard terminology for the type of food outlet; ii) clearly describing and examining intervention type, duration and intensity; iii) explicitly describing the theory of intervention; and iv) use of standard and consistent outcome measures and data collection methodologies.
